Timeline
17:49
Grab a coffee and a sweet treat at Chocolates Cafe Baku. It is a short walk from the Opera and a good way to start the evening before the crowds arrive.
18:49
Walk to Philharmonic Fountain Park. You will pass through the park on your way from the Metro area. Find a spot near the fountains to watch the sun set toward the WNW. The golden light starts about an hour before, so you have time to settle in.
19:34
Head to Chinar, a modern tea house and late night cocktail bar just a short walk from the park. It is a great place to soak in the evening atmosphere after the sun goes down.
20:04
Dine at Terrace Garden. You can feast your eyes on the Baku scene while you eat European and Azeri cuisine. It is another short walk from the park area.
21:19
End the night at Otto Club. If you arrive after midnight, you will find electro and dance music from a DJ. It is a club for dancing on the weekend, so expect a lively crowd.
Local tip
The walk from the Opera to the park takes about 26 minutes. If you start from the Metro, the park is on the way. Check the route if you are unsure.
